happy traveller

christmas in summer

The way it's supposed to be.

Why oh why did I make my trip only 3 weeks? I should have made it 3 months! Go back to Canada when the worst of the cold and rain is over. Very sensible.

summer weekend

Tea and cereal. Fresh blueberries. Mmmmmmm.

 

Farmers Market at Trout Lake. Squash and pumpkins, carrots, berries, corn. I love summer!

My first tomato!! It waited for me.

un-bear-able

Apparently the heatwave in Adelaide last week was too much for this little cutie. 4 days over 40 C.  Ouch!

we're not all going on a summer holiday

I feel like I'm back in school again and my months long summer holiday that once stretched endlessly in front of me is over. It's back to work again tomorrow. I almost envy my dad who is retiring this year to spend his time playing lawn bowls and painting the house.

i'm going on a summer holiday

The other day on my way to work as I sat in traffic and breathed in the greasy fumes from nearby factories, I fantasised that I was reclining on a deckchair at the side of a sparkling salt water pool at a 5 star resort on a tropical island somewhere. There is a warm breeze carrying on it the salty tang of the nearby ocean and a totally hot attendant is bringing me drinks with cute little umbrellas in them. Fantasy me has all the fun.
